Tried to find an update to this on the referenced web site. Failed miserably. Thanks, Neil. As for the trend for June and July: It truly depends on the temp of the water flowing into the Arctic in my opinion. We've got a strong and large la nina going, but sea surface temp anomalies in the northern oceans look warm with a bit of an area in the N Atlantic showing cool. I don't believe we'll pull another 2012 for sure. At least the 2022 line is trying to kiss that 2000s average right now. Let's see if it manages to do so. DMI: Area holding up too ...

I am continuing to update my info at the bottom of the previous page. As I have stated before I am expecting the sea ice to rise as the AMO starts to fall over the next few years. That is why I keep an eye on the comparison with the average sea ice for the 2010's decade.

"... and it adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that Artic sea ice, a source of global climate stability, could disappear for larger portions of the year"

I suspect there are surprises awaiting. Dogma is like that.

Since August 2021, March is the ONLY MONTH in which the month end sea ice extent has fallen below the average for the 2010's decade.Month | 2021 | 2021 | 2022 | 2022 |

Sea ice extent remained well ABOVE the 2010's average throughout July. The gap between August sea-ice and the 2010's average (dotted line) started to narrow. Just risen back above 2021 sea-ice extent! Will the trend continue to month end?
